Aside from phones, cell plans have changed too.  It used to be wireless providers charged for minutes and text messages, with data being a flat rate.  Now it’s data and phone payments that are the bill, while minutes and messages are flat rate. These changes primarily derived from the cause and effect of T-mobile’s “Un-carrier” campaign that was launched in 2013.  Join me, Buddy Gregory as we take a look at what happened to the world of phone upgrades.  The show notes for this episode can be found at https://beforeyouinstall.com/upgrade.   Sun, 11 Aug 2019 21:19:17 +0000 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/beforeyouinstall/BeforeYouInstall-E08-Upgrade.mp3?dest-id=1006556 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/beforeyouinstall/BeforeYouInstall-E08-Upgrade.mp3?dest-id=1006556 Hello and welcome to Before You Install!  In this episode, we talk about how cell phone upgrades have changed.  Phones used to cost around $200-$300 for a new phone.  Today they cost from $600 to $1000+.  Phones today are another monthly subscription for us, the consumer.
